Aren't released WWE wrestlers restricted to work for a definite amount of time after their release? Anyways, the card looks good.

1. El Generico & Samuray del Sol won a four-way elimination tag
overTrent Barreta & Brian Cage, Pete Wilson & Cam!kaze, and Andrew
Hawkes & Ryan Rollins. Barretta accused Generico of stealing his WWE
job. Tons of great spots, including a somersault plancha by Wilson
and shooting star press to the floor by Rollins. Wilson is a local
worker who got his start in Matrats twelve years ago. Rollins is a
Lance Storm trainee from Australia and looked great here.
2. Jim Neidhart & Cat Von Heez won a three-way mixed tag over Johnny
Devine & Miss Danyah and Ryan Rollins (pulling double-duty) & Nikita
Naridian. Good match when Devine and Rollins were in. Neidhart, not
so much. He must be pushing 350 pounds and wrestled in a T-shirt. His
offense consisted mostly of tapping his shoulder and waiting for
Devine and Rollins to bump off it. Rollins missed a perfect corkscrew
630 splash ala Jack Evans. Neidhart and Von Heez won after a botched
attempt at a Hart Attack. Not good.
The Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Lance Archer) came out
for a promo with their IWGP tag titles. Harry was over huge. Chris
Masters and Bobby Lashley interrupted, setting up the semi-main event.
3. Heavy Metal (RCW Edmonton worker, not the ’90s luchador) won a
12-man Royal Rumble-style battle royal featuring “Dynamite” Dan Myers
(fiance of Dynamite Kid’s daughter Bronwyne Billington), Brady
Malibu, Bobby Sharpe, Scott Lee Crue, Big Jess Youngblood, Raam
Dante, Slammer, Omen (tall guy doing a Zodiac-type gimmick),
“Principal” Richard Pound, Wavell Starr and Jason the Terrible. Pound
and Starr were regulars for Bruce and Ross Hart’s early 2000s
incarnation of Stampede Wrestling. Jason was the original version,
Karl Moffatt, who must be in his fifties. It came down to Heavy Metal
and Starr, who eliminated himself, leading to an angle where the two
of them, along with Johnny Devine, joined the latest version of Gama
Singh and Abu Wizal’s Karachi Vice heel stable. Starr literally
traded in his headdress for a turban.
4. Next up was The Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Lance
Archer) vs. Bobby Lashley & Chris Masters. Lots of brawling in the
crowd to start. Match was barely underway when Johnny Devine ran in
and attacked Davey Jr., causing a DQ. He was run off by Lance Storm,
who had been at ringside doing guest commentary for the iPPV
broadcast, and suddenly we had a trios match. Storm wrestled in jeans
and a tank top, but moved with remarkable alacrity, as Lord Alfred
Hayes would have put it. He had some nice exchanges with Devine and
even busted out a pescado. A bit sluggish when the other guys were
in, but not bad. Davey Jr. tapped Masters with the Sharpshooter.
5. “Team Teddy” (Teddy Hart & Flip Kendrick & Pete Wilson & Cam!kaze
& Brian Cage) defeated “Team Konnan” (Jack Evans & Generico & Samuray
del Sol & Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Trent Barreta) in an unreal spotfest.
It was a homecoming for Evans, who was a regular for Matrats and
Stampede Wrestling a decade ago. Wilson had to leave the match early
on after injuring his shoulder taking a suplex from Davey Jr. Some
brawling in the crowd with chairshots, then a big dive sequence with
a Generico somersault plancha, Cam!kaze top rope somersault,
Samuray’s gorgeous spinning Brillo Dorada variation, capped off by an
insane Flip Kendrick tornillo. Later in the match Teddy added a huge
moonsault off the railing of the balcony above the entranceway,
appearing to injure his leg. More great spots down the stretch,
including Generico using the top rope brainbuster on Kendrick. Teddy
managed to climb the ropes and hit a diving Canadian Destroyer on
Generico for the win. Konnan got on the mic and put the match over
big. Generico got a nice send-off.\

With this and extreme rising on the move the Indy scene is looking good to me. Someone needs to over power roh and Tna. These promotions have a long way to go tho. Good luck.
